Macbeth

Macbeth

By William Shakespeare

Directed by John DiAntonio

June 16 - September 4, 2025
Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre
Sponsored by Ashton Family Foundation

Haunted by the witches’ prophecies and spurred on by his wife’s ambitions and his own taste for power, Macbeth dares to tempt fate. But in this, one of the world’s first psychological thrillers, he slowly finds that his murderous machinations are doomed to bitter and tragic failure. When obsession with power sends Scotland into conflict, can anyone find the courage to be a force for good?
